Reading tip: put the accuracy color bar (brown or red) to the right
and then start reading from left to right.

Resistor body color meaning

Resistor body color markings do not normally have much
meanings. Sometimes they tell about the resistor's temperature
coefficents which are not much of use for normal electronics
experiments.

But there are two resistor body colors which you should know
what they need if youre fixing some electronics circuit.
Resistor body colors white and blue are used
to mark non-flammable resistors and fusible resistors.
If you encounter tjis type of resistor in the circuit do not
replace it with normal reistor because this would cause
fire danger is something goes wring in the circuit.
Non-flammable resistors and fusible resisotrs are designed
so that they don't catch fire when they overheat. When fusible
resistor overheats it cuts the current flowing like a fuse.

Reading surface mount resistors

Surface mount resistor have three numbers: the first two
digits being multiplied by the third. The third digit represents how
many zeros after the first two. For example a surface mount resistor
with code 1-0-5 would mean that the first two digits (1-0) would be
multiplied by 5 zeros. To give the value 10 00000ohms or 1Mohm.

The same coding is also used in surface mount capacitors.
Capacitor are similar to the above but the base number is pF or
pico farads. eg a capacitor labeled 2-2-3 has the value of 22 000pF.
